Still waiting for the Hydra-Boost to show up.......... In the mean time I noticed I wasn't getting any fuel pressure to the rails and the engine wouldn't start...... Humm!!!......I hot wired the power feed on the Vaporworx controller and Bingo had fuel pressure..... Hummm !!!! After checking the only thing it could be was a bad controller or the wiring on the Delfi plug assy........ Ended up that when I cut the harness to suit and pinned the wires in the plug.... I had all the wires in the right position but didn't notice that when I plugged it together I had to rotate the plug 180 degrees to get the key feature on the plug to align........ Luckily Donnie at Frame-Up explained how to unpin the plug and get the wires in back to the correct position....... Duhh!!!........ Hit the key and the engine started immediately...... Don't want to run it until the power steering pump has fluid in it so I only ran it for a few seconds....... Video to follow when the Hydra boost shows up.....

Chris mentioned that there was wheel bearing noise coming from the front end during the Road-Tour last fall..... Had some time so I figured I would take a look at replacing them....... Then I realized that when I built the car 15 years ago I put a stock GM front disc assy on the car..... Hummm!!!.... As long as we are updating everything we might as well give the Hydra-Boost system something to work with...... LOL....

New brakes installed....... Still waiting for the Hydra-Boost..... But now I have another issue that I have never experienced before......... The transmission has an issue, when starting the car and putting it in gear the trans has no function at all....... adding more fluid doesn't do anything...... The fluid level on the dipstick is above the full line but after starting and running thru the gears the level stays high and never goes down..... It seems the pump isn't working ........ no tire rotation at all..... Converter was filled with oil per spec before installing and keyed into the trans pump..... Humm...... Time to pull it out and take it to a trans expert to figure it out........

Trans update....... Had to take the exhaust system down.....and pull the trans out....... Everything looks fine but the trans pump absolutely had "0" function...... the trans fluid would just stay at the level as added while running the car without any trans function.....The Connect and Cruise systems come with a warranty so I called the Performance Tech center in the Detroit area and spoke to a Tech..... I explained everything that was happening and my assemble procedure....... I explained the adding of fluid to the converter prior to assy..... The clearance 3/16" between the converter and flex plate prior to bolting it together.......then the filling and no results experience....... He asked if I had a Chevrolet dealer in the area..... Said yes.... Told me to go there and talk to one of the service writers to get the car in....... he then explained that since I didn't buy the assy from them they might not agree to look into the issues..... Then he explained that if they did agree to get it in and found out it was something I did wrong I would be billed at Shop rate for everything done at the dealership....... Easier to pull the trans out and take it to a local trans shop for them to look at...... So.... That's where we are at now........ Still waiting on the Hydra-Boost also.....Here I thought I was a couple of hours from completion..... LOL

Hopefully all goes well without a hitch at the dealer.
